This is the real deal Swedish street food. We love our “Hotdog & Mashed potato wraps”. Or “Tunnbrödsrulle” as we call it (directly translated to “Thin-bread roll”).

It really is a comfort wrap. Extremely filling and “heavy”. They are sold at the hotdog or hamburger stands that you can find on almost every corner in the city. Well just about.

This is also the best thing to grab on your way home after a night out on town (let’s just call it an equalizer for the next day).

Some people are hamburger people but I am all for a “Tunnbrödsrulle”.

The thin-bread used is really fantastic. It has its roots in the northern parts of the Scandinavian countries. In Norway in particular.

In the old days, the women on the farms would bake the breads in large badges, everybody would be involved, and it would take a long time to prep and bake for all the people involved. Some of the thin-breads were kept soft while others were dried to be stored away. Farms would take huge pride in their recipes and would guard them well.

These days they are just a shopping trip away. Every grocery store has a variety of thin-breads offered. Soft or hard. Since we can’t get this bread here in the US, I use a regular wrap bread or tortilla bread. It works well. The Cucumber Mayo & the Shrimp Salads are sold in little tubs in any grocery store. They are a must in this wrap. One or the other, not both together. I prefer the Cucumber Mayo. We would also serve these dressings on a hotdog in a regular plain bun. Delicious.

So for Super bowl this year, we are all about this super handy, grab & go, no knife and fork needed food.
I learned early from my husband that for Super bowl, you have to eat with your hands and no silverware should be needed. So roll out the wraps, I am on my way!

As I always say, I don’t really care about the football part of the whole Super bowl event, my focus is always what will we eat??
